OR statement with results from DBXquery

DarthHerm — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 22:15:34 GMT

Hopefully this makes some sense.

I am working on a dashboard that pulls up activity when someone clicks on the details on a note. The event log lists the note id number but it not tied to the product page the user is on.

Leveraging dbxquery, I have a query that generates me the Note Ids for the Product page. Pending on the product, there could be just a handful or several hundred.

with the results of the dbxquery, is it possible to take those results and have it as a large OR statement? I considered making the noteid as a seperate drop down in my dashboard but the problem with multiple hundred notes to a specific product makes it difficult. I want to in the dashboard to show when a user with the product selected to see when they clicked on the details of that product's notes. Right now I have it show all the notes a user pulls up.

dbxquery (sanitzed)
| dbxquery query="SELECT o.[CandyNoteInfoId] ,n.[CandyNoteId] ,o.[ProductId] ,o.[NoteTypeId] ,o.[StaffId] as userId ,o.[UpdateUserId] ,n.[Details] FROM [DataBase_Name].[ind].[CandyNoteInfo] o left join [DataBase_Name].[ind].[CandyNote] n on o.[CandyNoteInfoId] = n.[CandyNoteInfoId] where ProductId = 12345" connection="Confection"
|stats count by CandyNoteInfoId

Current search without the DBXquery results.
index="index_name" userName=pvenkman module="Vendor.Product.BLL.Candy" storedProcedureName=CandyNoteInfoGetById
| dedup _time
| eval newtime=strftime(_time,"%b %d, %Y %I:%M:%S %p %Z")
| table newtime userName serverHost CandyNoteInfoId storedProcedureName
| rename newtime AS "Date and time" userName AS "Username" serverHost AS "Atlas server" CandyNoteInfoId AS "SQL Candy note info id number" storedProcedureName AS "Stored procedure name"

Re: OR statement with results from DBXquery

Hi @DarthHerm

I started to look into this but hit a stumbling block.

You can get a subquery to return an OR using the 'return' command, such as:

| makeresults count=2 | eval product=123 | streamstats count as CandyNoteInfoId | return 100 CandyNoteInfoId

You would ensure that the fieldname returned matches the field in your wider search and then apply this as a subsearch by placing in square braces ([ ]) as part of your main search - however in your data I cannot see a CandyNoteInfoId field, I can only see it as part of an object with the name and value in different fields as parameters{}.name, is that right?

You can get the format statement to create an OR query with a multivalue field, is this something you can use

... | stats values(CandyNoteInfoId) as search | format
